shift+K or shift+L makes the game freeze for a while

[SoraOto]

Pressing shift+K or shift+L makes the game screen black for about a second (as if pressing the alt+tab) and goes back normal.
I've never experienced this before, and tried reinstalling the whole game, but nothing changes.
At my first install, I also installed the NAIOM(nier automata input overhaul mod). But after removing the mod and totally reinstalling the game, it didn't solve the issue.

It's a left over debug shortcut, shift+K enables blur, shift+L disables it(but for some reason this change is not reflected in the in-game settings), so the short freeze and/or blackscreen is likely the game toggling blur on and off.
There are other ones, such as shift+3/6 which enables/disabels fidelityfx(this one is also reflected in the in-game settings).
Overall, i would suggest to just not use those shortcuts cause they can cause some visual issues, or stop working entirely after alt-tabbing.

Dang, really appreciate your reply. Searched google for shift K bug, nier automata bug, etc. but nothing came up. So it was just an unused ingame hotkey afterall. I found out this bug when inputting the character name for the new game using capital L and capital K.
Actually, I've played nier automata in PC a few years ago(all the way through, including 5 endings), but I don't remember suffering this. Maybe something has changed? anyway, thanks!
